I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 405 [Mastery of the Legendary Staff]

Forest of Elves, Akara Valley,

The arrow shot by Wilbur disappeared directly into the shadows of the forest, silently.

"Don't panic, there is only one person on the other side at most."

Wilbur shouted, calming his men's panicked expressions.

His bad premonition came true, but the best news now might be that the attackers were not those annoying elven guards.

Wilbur, who had dealt with the Elf Guard many times, was very clear about the patterns of the elves' actions. They could not act independently and they always worked in teams of at least three people.

As for the current situation, the person who launched the sneak attack is quite powerful, at least at the gold level.

Such a strong man in the Elf Guard must be accompanied by a silver-level elf team.

Be careful, there is still a chance!

Wilbur glanced at his men who were on high alert, and a plan came to his mind.

But he had to hurry, as he didn't know who was behind the attack. If it was an elf, there was a good chance that he had the means to contact the Elf Guards.

It would be very troublesome if we were really entangled by the Elf Guards.

Time is very tight. If the attacker cannot be dealt with in a short period of time, he will have to abandon these men and escape.

At this time, even the two elf slaves Wilbur would give up without hesitation.

Wilbur knew very well that if he didn't act decisively at this time, there might not be a next time.

This was his experience of successfully escaping from the Elf Forest many times.

Then now.
Wilbur was highly focused, observing the situation around him.

The arrow that was shot from the dark just now was so unexpected that he didn't notice anything unusual.

Is the person who made the sneak attack a hunter or a ranger?
Wilbur glanced at the surrounding forest. He didn't think that the attack he had just made would be effective.

Now that person may still be lurking in the dark, waiting for me to reveal my flaws.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Wilbur knew that the other party was stalling for time, but he could not wait any longer.

At this time, the men recruited by Wilbur came in handy.

"Jason, take that elf with you, and let's leave now."

"Be careful."

Wilbur ordered his men to bring along the elf next to his companion who was killed by a hidden arrow. It seemed that they were preparing to leave this place quickly.

Although he said this, he did not take any direct action. Instead, he focused on observing the movements around him.

The person lurking in the dark noticed that they were leaving and would definitely take action.

Boom!
The same bowstring sound came from another part of the forest.

Along with the sound of the bowstring, another companion who was carrying the elf fell to the ground with a thud, and an arrow also pierced through his forehead.

Seeing the miserable state of his companions, Jason, who was ordered by Wilbur to carry the elves, quickly withdrew his hand and took several steps back to avoid it.

He saw that anyone who came into contact with the elf would be attacked by the attacker.

At least for these silver-level professionals, there is no way to resist the attack of these arrows with inexplicable power.

See clearly!

Wilbur was secretly shocked.

He noticed that the incoming arrows had a special dark grey power attached to them.

He was very familiar with this power and was sure that this was the power of shadow used by the gold-level assassin!
No wonder the attack happened so secretly. When the first arrow was shot, even he, a gold-level hunter, didn't react.

Wilbur stood up and ran towards the direction where the arrow came from, but he felt a little confused.

There are assassins who use bows and arrows, but they are rare.

Thanks to the special effects of shadow power, assassins can gain extra stealth bonuses when using weapons for long-range attacks. However, assassins tend to use throwing weapons such as short blades and daggers, and it is rare to see them using bows and arrows.

However, judging from the arrow attack just now, it is indeed of gold level power.

In the jungle, hunters still have an advantage when facing assassins. Their strong perception often allows them to detect hidden assassins first.

Snapped!
As Wilbur stood up and ran into the jungle, he clasped his hands together and a faint white light gathered behind him.

"Wow~"

As a sharp scream sounded, a gray forest owl with a light blue body emerged from the pale white light and appeared behind Wilbur, flapping its wings.

This is Wilbur's tamed pet and a good helper for him in the Elf Forest.

The sharp eyes of the Gray Owl can see extremely subtle movements in the distance and can even detect the flow of extraordinary power.

Wilbur summons his pet to prevent the target from escaping.

No matter who the attacker is, it would be bad if he escaped and notified the Elf Guard. It would be better to let this person stay here forever.

When that man attacked just now, Wilbur's hunter instinct had already locked onto the target.

Controlling the Gray Owl telepathically to fly into the sky and overlooking the situation below, Wilbur quickly attacked the target.

What surprised him was that, regardless of his own perception or the feedback from the Gray Forest Owl, the enemy did not make any move as he looked at him charging towards him, but just stood there quietly.

He didn't even choose to dodge. That's not right, is it?
You know, the most important thing for an assassin is to hide your body and launch powerful attacks from the dark.

Once they lose the initiative, except for the existence of some special professions, the assassins' frontal combat capabilities are far weaker than those of normal extraordinary professionals.

Although the hunter is not very strong in frontal combat, it is still much better than the assassin.

Wilbur was confused, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. He drew the dagger at his waist and stabbed at the target.

As he got closer, Wilbur had a clear view of his target.

It was a handsome human youth, and the longbow in his hand that was shining with dark gray light confirmed that it was him who had just launched the attack.

Not an elf?

Wilbur was confused, but without any hesitation, he stabbed the opponent's neck with the dagger in his hand.

Suddenly, Wilbur saw the other's eyes.

That look, relaxed yet with a hint of sarcasm?

Before Wilbur could react to what happened, he felt as if the dagger he thrust out with his right hand had hit an unshakable iron wall.

At this time, Wilbur saw that the young man just raised his left hand and used the black gauntlet on his left hand to block his attack.

How can this be?

This was his full-strength attack! Wilbur was even a little dazed for a moment, and couldn't believe what he saw.

He was able to take his attack with just one hand without even the slightest feeling of reluctance, which meant that his opponent had completely surpassed him in terms of strength.

That shouldn't be the case. The Assassin profession, like the Hunter, is a profession with enhanced agility.

How did this young man in front of me do it? Is it the effect of some special equipment or props?

Although he was shocked, Wilbur did not stop. After missing the attack, he stepped back and kept his distance, looking at the young man in front of him cautiously.

A smile appeared on Li Si's face as he looked at the golden hunter Wilbur who was standing not far in front of him.

What a confident person! This will make things easy!
Li Si put away the longbow in his right hand, and his mind moved. Suddenly, his body turned into a dark gray shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"not good!"

When Wilbur saw this, he was about to make another attempt but he quickly turned around to look at where his companions were.

Li Si appeared beside the two fainted elves. His figure turned into a shadow and quickly approached his two companions. After a moment, he returned to his original position with a few drops of bright red blood dripping from the dagger in his hand.

In Wilbur's eyes, the last two companions covered their necks with horror, but the blood gushing out could not be stopped. After struggling for a while, they could only fall to the ground weakly.

At this point, Wilbur was the only one left in the Black Panther slave hunting group.

"damn it!"

Wilbur had a gloomy face as he looked at Li Si, who was waving a dagger to remove the blood from the weapon in the distance.

At this point, how could he not know the purpose of the person in front of him.

He used a bow and arrow to shoot the two companions who were controlling the elves from a distance, while also leading himself out. Finally, he used the [Shadow Shuttle] skill to quickly approach the remaining two companions and kill them.

Everything this man did was to protect the two captured elves.

I was worried that he would kill the two elves directly if he saw the situation was not right.

Although he figured out the other party's purpose, Wilbur was left with no other options.

The two elves were already under the control of the other party, and he had completely lost the bargaining chips in his hands.

As for defeating the young man in front of him, Wilbur did not have the confidence to do so.

In the brief fight with Li Si just now, the strength and weirdness displayed by Li Si made Wilbur have no confidence that he could defeat Li Si in a short time.

Li Si's skill and speed in using [Shadow Shuttle] also made Wilbur realize that although Li Si in front of him was young, he was experienced and did not look like someone who had just broken through to the gold level.

no solution anymore!

Wilbur looked at Li Si angrily, then turned around and went into the forest and left.

"Wow, so decisive?"

Li Si was originally planning to wait for the gold-level hunter to come over and capture him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to give up the elf and left the scene.

He casually cast a few protective spells to protect the two elves lying on the ground, and then sent a message to Cecil to ask her to come over. Li Si then quickly chased after the fleeing Wilbur.

He doesn't have any intention of leaving any room for error.

The dead are the most trustworthy!

Anyway, these two elves have been protected, so Li Si is not worried about their dying struggles at all.

"Is this person sick?"

Wilbur felt the tremendous pressure coming from behind and couldn't help but curse out loud.

I even gave up on those two high-end guys, why are you still chasing me?

Wilbur felt that the young man in front of him was just trying to rob his fellow thieves, which was why he attacked him and snatched the elf slaves.

He had seen this kind of thing before and had done it himself.

We are now a slave-hunting group, so what rules are we talking about?
This is also one of the reasons why Wilbur gave up the elven slaves so decisively.

I've given you everything, so you have to let me go, right?

But Li Si in front of him followed him like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Even with his strength as a gold-level hunter and rich experience in the Elf Forest, he could not shake off Li Si.

Even the distance is getting closer!
Can't run away!

Wilbur felt the breath of Li Si behind him, and knowing this in his heart, he gritted his teeth and stopped.

With a wave of his right hand, several dim rays of light flew out from his hand and landed on the ground and tree trunk in front of him. He took out his longbow and pointed it behind him.

Hunter's advanced combat skill [Arrow Rain Storm]!
Wilbur's right hand turned into a shadow and quickly swung the longbow. Countless arrows containing light blue light flew towards the front like a storm.

Countless arrows destroyed everything in front of them. The branches and green leaves of the trees were turned into powder and blown away in the strong wind under this powerful attack.

After a moment, Wilbur's right hand could not stop shaking. He stopped attacking and looked at the clouds of dust raised by the rain of arrows.

"It's amazing that you have even mastered this skill."

"No wonder you dare to capture elves in the Elf Forest."

Wilbur turned pale when he heard the voice coming from the smoke.

Li Si waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust in front of him. Only then could Wilbur see Li Si's situation clearly.

The young man in front of him was holding an emerald staff in his hand, his body was covered by several layers of pale white barriers, and he was looking at him with a smile.

If it weren't for the open space around Li Si that was different from the forest, as well as the exposed black soil and the traces of sharp blades, Wilbur would have thought that his attack just now had not happened.

But this situation indeed exceeded his expectations.

Is this young man a wizard?
The fantastic facts before Wilbur made him a little confused.

How is this possible? No matter the assassin skills he just used or the strength that far exceeds his, it has nothing to do with a mage.

"You have a twin brother?"

Wilbur looked at Li Si with a confused expression and suddenly asked.

What the hell?
Li Si looked at Wilbur with amusement. Has he lost his mind due to the blow?
I haven't taken any harsh measures yet!
The staff moved, and several blue fireballs flew from Li Si towards the open space and trees in front of Wilbur.

Click!

A dark blue flame spread out and a peculiar sound was heard, as if something was hit.

Wilbur's expression changed and turned gloomy in an instant.

This was too cautious. The other party actually discovered all the traps he set up temporarily.

He is so experienced, could the person opposite him be some old monster?
Just as Wilbur opened his mouth to say something, he saw Li Si's torrential magic attacks flying towards him.

Li Si was too lazy to say anything to this man. He was just a "poaching" leader and he didn't even want to recruit him.

Not long after, Li Si stepped on Wilbur's body that had turned into rags and opened the system panel.
